Childish Gambino
In the week of Eurovision, some words were written. Some were about Eurovision. Some were not about Eurovision, because other things and people exist. People like Childish Gambino, Lily Allen, Beach House, Neko Case, Laura Veirs, Miles Kane, Hatchie and Lucrecia Dalt. But. Eurovision is this weekend.
